If a boat is rowed downstream for 50 km in 5 hours and upstream for 24 km in 6 hours, what is the speed of the boat and the river?

Time & Distance Mcqs 18/05/2020

A. (7 , 3) km/hr
B. (6 , 4) km/hr
C. (10 , 4) km/hr
D. None of these

If x: speed of boats man in still water
y: speed of the river
Downstream speed (Ds) = x + y
Upstream speed (Us) = x – y
x = (Ds + Us) / 2
y = (Ds – Us) / 2
In the above problem Ds = 10 ; Us = 4
x = (10 + 4) / 2 = 14/2 = 7 km/hr
y = (10 – 4)/2 = 6/2 = 3 km/hr
